This picture shows what issues I have with bowfishing. I caught this big drum on rod and reel and it was fatigued while fighting, very unhealthy and started bleeding out of a hole in his side when I took him out of the water. I dont know where, how, when, or why this fish had a hole in his side but one could assume it was due to an arrow. I caught the fish near a duck camp that has lights on the pier. If you are going to shoot a fish with a bow and arrow make sure you shoot one that you are going to eat and not throw back... it was sad to see such a big unhealthy fish...
